Josh Thomson on decisioning JZ Cavalcante: 'No way I won that fight, 30-27'

Oh, but you did, Josh, in the eyes of judge Susan Thomas Gitlan:
"I probably could have fought much harder but JZ is a very dangerous guy and one of the best in the world and it was obviously very important for me to win so I played it a little safe. I felt this might go the distance but no way I won that fight, 30-27. He got me a few times, but I hurt more from his two headbutts (that required stitches).’’
"The Punk" says what (seemingly) everyone who watched his three-round fight with JZ Cavalcante last night at Strikeforce: "Diaz vs. Noons 2" was thinking: That he didn't win all three rounds against his Brazilian counterpart. In fact, it's safe to say that he clearly lost the third round and could have been outpointed in the opening stanza. All the judges agreed, however, that Thomson won the first, during which he was clipped with a hard right and was trapped in a very, very tight guillotine choke. Bad Gitlan scorecard aside, did anyone think Cavalcante deserved the nod instead?

JZ won that fight
He won rd1 n 3 so idk how the fuck Josh got the a un. decision. N for a judge to score it 30-27 was ludacris. U kno the judges suck wen the fighter who wins even says it.

It was a close fight that could have gone either way.
I had it 29-28 Thomson, but 29-28 JZ would have been fine as well. There’s no way either guy won all 3 rounds, good for Thomson for bringing up the issue of horrible judging in MMA. It’s especially great to see from the winning fighter, hopefully now something will finally be done to address the issue.

I was leaning towards JZ but i can definitely see Josh winning
Who ever won the first round basically won the fight because the other two rounds were clear cut for each fighter. What made me lean towards JZ instead of Josh was that JZ popped up immediately after round 1 ended which makes me think that Josh did not actually have the sub locked up properly which means JZ won that round for sure hands down, of course it did look pretty bad and looked like the round ending saved him soo yeah i can see why people would give it to Josh. As i said in another thread mad respect for Josh coming out and calling it like it is I WISH more fighters would do that!
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
Thompson did'nt even win the fight
JZ clearly had round 1 he dropped josh and had a sub tight for a good minute
Melendez will outpoint either one of them.
JZ would be more interesting IMO since we haven’t seen that one, yet. However, Melendez sounded interested in going to the UFC once his contract is up.
